Anything but carrying the bike up from the basement every morning

I think it’s usually invoice in Germany (to patient / insurance). Some psychoanalysts demand to paid in cash which I find hilarious.

Yes my previous bike (also steel VSF) got stolen, so I was looking for the exact same one. Made sense to buy it new (with new parts) and I got a good deal on it.

Hey, those belong to people!

Sure! I have a VSF T-500 steel frame 21 speed with disk breaks

My approach to laptop computers

Yeah no worries! Just a bit of bike drama ITT

It wasn’t the cheapest bike but nothing special. I’ve had it for 10 years and I’m super happy with it.

Where I live, 1k gets you a decent commuter bike without a motor. Doesn’t even matter much if used or new. Then you spend ~200 on parts every year. It’s outside 24/7, I don’t have a garage.

Yeah, it’s just silly a meme. I would spend a lot of money on a bike if it was my hobby. But here I am getting shamed for spending as much as 1k for a bike, which I thought was the bare minimum for a daily driver.

It’s not just debatable, it’s beside the point. NixOS is declarative, trivially reproducible and natively container-ready, that’s what makes it so great.

I think you’re spot on: Markdown files with SyncThing. That’s my setup as well, you just can’t beat markdown files as a back-end for flexibility and future-safety in my opinion.

Some things to consider:

• Editor: The obvious no-nos are editors with built-in AI support or cloud storage. FOSS editors are highly recommended. If you find a good offline FOSS WYSIWYG-style markdown editor, let us know. I use Neovim myself, but I’m often asked for recommendations by non-geeks.
• Operating system: You should be fine on MacOS (for now), but Linux is a great option for desktop. Windows is a loose canon with their AI snapshot approach, definitely avoid. What are you syncing to? Mobile devices are a lot more difficult to keep control of.
• Encrypted devices: Make sure you have full disk encryption on all devices and on all your backups.

Lovely. Certainly looks like Amanita muscaria to me! (Possibly var. formosa / guessowii)

Be careful with that stuff! I know somebody who contracted severe isomorphism

The way I understand it, ufw is a frontend for iptables. So no.

Where indexing and searching mails is concerned, notmuch is the best I’ve seen. Do note that this is not an e-mail client, it only indexes, tags and searches (following the “UNIX philosophy” of doing one job well).

I personally use it with neomutt as a mail user agent, which is almost certainly not what you want. Notmuch supports other clients but they’re all pretty arcane.

So this is not a recommendation, just a glimpse into advanced e-mail setups I guess.

I’m super happy with the ThinkPad T-Series. Solid build quality, and the keyboard is magnitudes better than the MBP i had before.
